Every day is one step closer to reality

Reef beach.

After talking to Xiao Xin, Feng Yi had made a decision in his mind, but he did not tell Santos immediately.

Watching Santos and the others study the marine iguana, Feng Yi stood for a while and then noticed the little girl sitting there not far away drawing with a drawing board.

The rescued little girl was just painting quietly not far away, just as Santos said.

Feng Yi observed her emotional information. She was still calm now, so he divided a plate of snacks brought by Xiao Bing and took it over.

"Santos said your name is Rosa? Do you want some biscuits?" Feng Yi walked over, two steps away, and sat on a stone on the ground.

The little girl looked up at Feng Yi, pursed her lips and said nothing. Continue holding the drawing board and draw carefully one stroke at a time.

There is not a strong feeling of rejection, perhaps because they know that Feng Yi and Santos know each other.

Although she didn't speak, Feng Yi judged from her emotional information that the child wanted to eat snacks, but he had experienced a kidnapping incident and was wary of everything.

Feng Yi didn't force it. He didn't know how to get along with children and planned to leave. As for the cookies on the plate, let Santos deliver them.

His eyes glanced at her painting.

She seemed to be quite curious about marine iguanas, and she painted a picture of a marine iguana on a reef. However, due to her age and painting skills, the creature in the painting looked like a developing tadpole.

Feng Yi stood up and praised before leaving: "Oh, you are drawing 'little monsters'? They look very imposing." There was a hint of sand sculpture in the ferociousness.

The little girl who was praised paused her painting, then looked up at Feng Yi with serious eyes, and said in accented English: "What I drew is a giant dragon!"

Feng Yi: "...Oh, the dragon...I mean the painting is really good!"

Boy, you have a lot of ideas when it comes to drawing a giant dragon facing a marine iguana.

After boasting, he planned to leave.

This kid is feeling repulsive, so he'd better leave.

The little girl moved her lips, lowered her eyes, tightened her brush, looked at the drawing board, and whispered: "The dragon really existed!"

Feng Yi, who was about to leave, sat back when he heard this.

"Explain it?"

Feng Yi's eyes were full of curiosity.

"Does your village or family have stories related to dragons? Are you willing to share them with me?"

The little girl raised her eyes to look at Feng Yi again, but this time it was different from before. This time her eyes had a little more sparkle.

"Do you believe in dragons?" she asked.

Feng Yi thought for a while and replied: "I haven't seen it, but I believe that there are some legendary creatures in the world."

The little girl stared at Feng Yi. She felt that Feng Yi really wanted to hear her tell the story of the dragon, rather than perfunctory banter or polite tolerance from adults.

It gave her a sense of validation and allyship.

She was willing to share the dragon's story with this man.

Most of the emotional information that was clearly repulsive just now disappeared in an instant.

"The dragon lives in the sea and sometimes comes ashore, but it prefers to be in the sea. My ancestors always saw the dragon in the sea!"

When talking about the dragon, the little girl spoke more forcefully, instead of the timid whisper just now.

"Have your ancestors ever seen a giant dragon? Does it look like the one in your painting?" Feng Yi asked.

The little girl glanced at the group of black and gray marine iguanas on the reef in front of her with a slightly disgusted look.

"I don't know, I haven't seen it either. The dragon in the movie is like this."

The little girl took a paintbrush and added a pair of fish-like fins to the image she had just drawn of a lizard.

Seeing this, Feng Yi knew that this child was still deeply influenced by movies and television, and tended to look like a large lizard with wings.

"Didn't you say that your ancestors had seen giant dragons?" Feng Yi asked.

The little girl gave Feng Yi a "you are so stupid" look.

"The dragons are powerful and mysterious, and they will not let humans easily see their full picture! My ancestors only saw the tail of the dragon when they went fishing at sea, and were saved by the dragon in a sea storm. They Can easily push a big boat!"

Talking about the topic of interest, the child seemed to have forgotten about being abducted, and his voice was high and low, causing Santos and the others on the other side of the rock to look this way.

"The dragon is scary and strong! However, animals and plants like to live in it."

"Because, where they are, there is no disaster that cannot be overcome! They can control the wind and rain!"

"The air around its lair makes everything stronger."

"Not even the most ferocious sea monster dares to make any noise there!"

Feng Yi: "..."

He frowned uncomfortably. It sounds more and more like something someone from the same clan might have done.

The little girl continued: "The dragon has piles of treasures and the largest pearl in the world, but even the most powerful warrior cannot steal a single gold coin from its lair!"

Feng Yi became even more curious: "How do you know?"

Little Girl: "My ancestors said so! The warrior went to the dragon's lair on some isolated island and was thrown out, with claw marks on his impenetrable armor!"

Feng Yi nodded. Accepted her statement.

The strength of armor in ancient times was indeed no match for a claw.

The little girl was satisfied and continued to share the stories passed down by her ancestors.

"Then one day, the dragon left its lair and never came back. Those vicious sea monsters also disappeared. Some said they were taken away by the dragon, while others said they were eliminated by humans."

"Sea monster?" Feng Yi asked, "What does it look like?"

The little girl said without confidence: "Like, like a lizard?"

Feng Yi pointed to the rocky beach, "You mean like them?"

The only lizard that has such a close connection with the ocean is the marine iguana.

She really didn't want to admit it.

"They should be their relatives! For example, Godzilla!" the little girl said firmly.

Anyway, they are definitely not those lazy clowns on the rocks!

Feng Yi was thoughtful.

Thinking of the little python he kept in the zoo, Feng Yi thought that maybe one of his tribesmen had actually raised lizards in a similar way. If he was a little more reckless, maybe there had been one or several giant sea monsters in the sea.

When he thought of this, Feng Yi became very worried. That little python shouldn't be too exaggerated, right?

"Were the dragons your ancestors saw very big?" Feng Yi asked.

"Of course! Otherwise, why would it be called a dragon?" the little girl said with certainty.

Although she has never seen it, in the stories passed down, such a strong dragon can suppress the sea monster, and it must be huge and huge, right?

Feng Yi thought to himself: I know your ancestors have filters, but you can't close your eyes and brag. According to the energy resources provided by this planet, the "dragons" your ancestors can see are already stunted individuals.

The "giant" is nowhere to be found!

Resources simply cannot support that energy level!

However, if you see it without telling it, it’s better not to shatter the children’s fantasies.

Moreover, no matter what you say, the tribesmen in ancient times were at least a little better developed than they are now.

Thinking of this, Feng Yi couldn't help but rub his face.

Resources are getting tighter.

One generation is worse than the other.

What to do!

"well!"

Feng Yi sighed.

Seeing the little girl looking over, Feng Yi said, "It's a pity that I can't see her now."

Upon hearing this, the little girl instantly empathized and sighed.

There was a moment of silence.

The little girl said: "But I believe they must exist somewhere in the world. It's just that we didn't find it!"

After saying that, he looked at Feng Yi again, hoping to get Feng Yi's approval.

Feng Yi also nodded affirmatively: "Yes! It exists!"

Ah, from a certain perspective, you have already seen it, little friend, but it is not as powerful as you imagined.

Feng Yi said: "Perhaps, the 'dragon' does not look like what you imagined."

"Maybe." The little girl looked at the sea in the distance, "In the stories handed down, the only similarity is that the dragon has a very strong tail, which can break through the rough waves and break hard rocks! "

After telling the story, the little girl also finished her painting.

She took out the drawing paper and handed it to Feng Yi.

Feng Yi was surprised: "Given it to me?"

The little girl nodded.

It's rare to meet someone who is willing to listen to her stories about dragons and believe in the existence of dragons.

If the descendants of those who witnessed it don't believe in the "dragon", forget those stories. So, who will remember them?

Perhaps, at that time, the "dragon" really left.

Being remembered is also a kind of living.

She hopes that more people in this world know that they once existed.

Grandma said that faith can create miracles.

One more person, one more belief.

Feng Yi smiled and took it with both hands: "Thank you! I like it very much!"

"Oh, I have a collection. In it are paintings that I have collected from various places in the world, about dragons, giant snakes and other legendary deeds."

Feng Yi said, raised the painting in his hand and asked, "Can I also put this painting into my collection?"

The little girl's face turned red, and she clenched her fingers in shyness: "Collect it in the collection?! Am I that good at painting?!"

Feng Yi: "...of course!"

The little girl pursed her lips and nodded, with the corners of her mouth raised slightly.

He was obviously very happy to hear that his paintings were valued by the other party and put into a collection. The emotional message was positive and exciting.

Before leaving, Feng Yi handed her a business card of the collection: "If you have a chance, you can go to Yangcheng in China. I invite you to visit my collection."

At this time, Santos also came over.

"Hey, it looks like you guys had a great time chatting."

"Yes, I also got a very special little gift." Feng Yi said with a smile.

Walking aside with Santos, Feng Yi waited for Santos' next words.

Santos just glanced at the painting. Like Feng Yi, he thought it was a child's painting of a marine iguana and didn't look at it again.

"The test results are out. They fell off the ship and are the same batch of marine iguanas we seized. The results are here and we will leave soon."

Santos is busy with affairs. He just came here today to check on the situation and solve it on the spot if possible.

Now it seems that the solution is okay.

Santos looked at Feng Yi: "So, what do you think about my suggestion?"

Feng Yi said: "Listen to your suggestion and let them stay for now."

Santos: "You're a good man."

Feng Yi: "You can praise me in another way."

Santos: "Your professionalism is admirable."

Feng Yi: "Forget it, when will you leave?"

Santos: "Don't be so ruthless. We can keep in touch. Your communication station has been set up very well. Gray will contact the person in charge here again after a while to learn about the situation."

Feng Yi: "Send text messages. If it is not particularly important, do not use voice communication. The employee on my island is a bit socially anxious and may be slightly lacking in voice expression."

Santos: "Yes. Then text message."

After talking to Feng Yi about the marine iguana, Santos was indeed busy with business as he said, and he quickly left by plane with his people.

On the plane leaving the island.

Santos said to Gray: "In a few days, contact the person in charge of his side again to see if we can have some deeper friendly exchanges and experience exchanges."

Gray understood. Oh, go for the cliché.

"Didn't you say that employee was afraid of society?" Gray asked.

“There are many types of social anxiety. Some people with social anxiety are silent and unwilling to communicate with others, whether in real life or on the virtual Internet.

"And some social fears, as long as they are not in person, or as long as they are on the Internet, if they are given a keyboard, they can chat like crazy, and chatting on the keyboard can create another Mariana Trench!

"The young man guarding the island doesn't have much communication with others, but I think he and Feng Yi are quite talkative. Maybe he is the type who can create a Mariana Trench with his words?"

Gray also agreed with him, but...

"Santos, what are you still planning?"

"I'm just here to solve the problem," Santos said.

"No, from what I know about you, you must have other ideas."

"What are your thoughts on a win-win situation?"

"Your attitude towards Feng Yi is different. Although this expert is indeed very famous and rich during this period, this is not like your previous style. He is too... friendly."

"Well, do you still remember his identity as a shareholder of the Ancestral Factory? The universal antidote from the Ancestral Factory is really easy to use."

When it came to this, Gray also understood.

The Ancestral Factory's universal antidote saved the life of an employee of their special team.

On the premise of not violating the principle, it is indeed possible to be gentle.

Gray decided to contact the socially fearful island guard on the island when the time came.

Feng Yi's island.

After Santos and his party left, peace returned to the island.

Xiaoren did not appear in front of those people. He believes that at this stage, it is better not to have contact with the people from the special task force of the Joint Security Bureau. Regardless of whether they appear friendly or cold, those people have very strong eyesight and intuition.

To avoid affecting subsequent work, avoid it for the time being.

Things here have been dealt with and they are going back.

Before leaving the island, Feng Yi stood not far from the reef beach and looked at the lizards crawling from the sea to the rocks.

If, in the story told by the little girl, the monster brought by the "dragon" was actually a marine iguana, the difference would be huge.

The monster in the story: Roar - super fierce!

Now the little monster: lie flat, change position and continue lying flat.

The update time in the next few days will not be very stable, it may be from 8 am to 24 pm.

Trying to adjust the update rhythm.

My mentality has expanded, and I want to try the rhythm of double watch.

Hope it works!
